I’m also a name expert and the cocreator with Linda Rosenkrantz of a groundbreaking series on baby names and the website Nameberry. My newest adventure in naming is an innovative consultancy for adults seeking new names called Clemens & Twain.

I live in Los Angeles with my two sons who are in their twenties (everybody’s doing it) but often visit New York where my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter live, and to see clients. I’m working on a new novel that I am really excited about (most days).
